It's going to be a fascinating year for pinball, so many different manufacturers from all over the world all with their own ideas about what a pinball machine should look like. We have manufacturers from the US, England, Spain, Holland and of course Australia/China (have I missed any?) all using completely different platforms. Has the field ever been so diverse?

Kind of went off track Dec 10th 2013. Maybe there needs to be a separate topic on Chinese factories, workers and pay entitlements.

PM sent to Mike to see if he wants it cleaned up / split  ^^^

Might be good to have two as his new factory will no doubt have many more titles down the track. Whichever way, I like reading about Mike's progress and admire his dedicated achievement to date.

I've had a discussion via PM with Mike, and we decided that to keep this thread "on topic" with the Thunderbird's Development and the Homepin Factory.

If anyone wishes to discuss China, or Mike's experiences working in China, go here - http://aussiepinball.com/index.php?topic=12056.0

Yes, they will be airbrushed by hand. The entire pinball will be hand made.
